The wood is oak, scored with a Dremel tool to make the eye shape.  The eye itself is a salvaged lens with a red glass piece in the center hole, secured by a copy of the one ring that I bought in a book store.  The hole was already in the wood, the flames are stenciled on and painted.

  The One RingTM  has no copies.  Clearly you were ripped off.  :M :P

More like what's my favorite ROCK's, anything volcanic, amethyst, high quality quartz, etc.  And any rock that's unusual in color and shape!   8)

Nice. A lot of people don't like Quartz but there are some pretty member's of that family, Amethyst, Citrine, Smokey, all the Agates and such.

Can't get enough.  :laugh:

I hear what your saying, Quartz has so much variety and color.  I have several specimens of rough citrine and a large trigonic smoky quartz crystal.  My prize is a clear Quartz with facets and an amethyst "cloud" in it!   8)

Cool. I love Quartz with inclusions in them! I like Tourmaline in Quartz myself,  :)

  Either of you rock hounds ever own or use a rock polisher?  We owned one years ago (my father bought it),
   but like so many hobby-ish things, it ended up stashed somewhere; it's probably still in the basement.  :autism:
